When I look in the mirror, I see an ever-unfolding process.

I don't have to be perfect. All I have to do is show up and enjoy the messy, imperfect and beautiful journey of my life.

I have a deep, deep love for sneakers.

Learn to embrace your own unique beauty, celebrate your unique gifts with confidence. Your imperfections are actually a gift.

Your life is your story, and the adventure ahead of you is the journey to fulfill your own purpose and potential.

I don't think I'm even close to fulfilling my potential. And I think also that, unlike a pianist or a flutist, an actor has an instrument that is constantly changing.

You and you alone are the only person that can live the life that writes the story that you were meant to tell. And the world needs your story because the world needs your voice.

I'm not interested in living in a world where my race is not a part of who I am. I am interested in living in a world where our races, no matter what they are, don't define our trajectory in life.

You can never control how people respond to your work. You can only control your own work ethic.

As long as anyone anywhere is being made to feel less human, our very definition of humanity is at stake, and we are all vulnerable.

To meet somebody who's able to harness the level of courage it takes to walk away and to choose your own life and your own health, the well-being of your family, is really inspiring.

Is not our capacity to choose, to chase, to dream of becoming other than we are, more powerful then the patterns of the stars?

You are a great God!

I was just struggling with my inner vachette and pondering the depths of my own inhumanity.

Cease to inquire what the future has in store and take as a gift whatever the day brings forth.

You are what you think. So just think big, believe big, act big, work big, give big, forgive big, laugh big, love big and live big.

I love working with older actors because number one, I can learn so much from them because they have so much experience. And it's fun to hear their stories from their era, some of the jokes.

Albert Brooks is definitely one of my biggest influences, for sure.

Accept yourself as you are. And that is the most difficult thing in the world, because it goes against your training, education, your culture.

Care, because it is what you do. Care, and be vibrantly alive.

I don't know how many records I'm selling.
